How do I submit immunization data to the North Carolina Immunization Registry (NCIR)?
Does NCIR accept HL7 2.5.1 files?
At this time, the North Carolina Immunization Registry (NCIR) is not accepting electronic submission of immunization information, but is in the process of developing the capability for a bi-directional interface with EHRs.
For the reason provided above, providers in North Carolina can claim an exclusion to the immunization registry data submission measure for Modified Stage 2 Objective 10 of Meaningful Use until further notice.
if you are a Medicare provider participating in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), you will not have the option to report on the 2017 ACI Transition Measure: Immunization Registry Reporting as a performance score measure in the Advancing Care Information Performance Category. Please note, however, that this measure is not a required measure within the ACI Performance Category.
To receive an exclusion confirmation or to ask questions related specifically to immunization reporting, email ncirdataexchange@dhhs.nc.gov.
